Consecrated

anoint_head_with_oil_fromhorn You shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may serve me as priests.

Exodus 30:30

Serving God is a holy task,

Consuming fire around His throne.

No selfish concern could I ask

to beg off His service for my own.

When priests in the wilderness were called

holy oil on their heads and robes

showed Whom they served enthralled

in commitment pure of soul.

And consecrated now are those

who follow Christ into their days

with gospel orders pure and bold

anointed by the Spirit in all His ways

Marty, love your poetry. Very modern day psalmish.
